Mexican Orange Blossom

Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: fertile, well-drained soilRate of growth: fast-growingFlowering period: April to May and August to SeptemberHardiness: fully hardyThis relative of the popular Choisya ternata has cheerful, bright yellow, glossy young evergreen foliage and produces clusters of white flowers in late spring.

This dome-shaped shrub is ideal for a mixed or shrub border in light shade, where the leaves become a more subtle yellow-green.

It is vigorous, and will fill a dark corner in a couple of seasons.Garden care: Prune established plants in spring immediately after flowering, removing 25-30cm (10-12in) of the flowered stems.

This encourages a second flush of flowers in late-summer and autumn.

At the same time remove any frost-damaged stems to the base.
